Is this covered by insurance?

Evaluation and diagnostic testing are often covered by insurance. However, laser treatment and some antifungal therapies are typically not covered. We offer transparent and affordable pricing and treatment options to fit your needs.

Can toenail fungus come back after treatment?

Yes—recurrence is possible if the environment that allowed the fungus to grow is not controlled. This is why our program includes maintenance and prevention strategies to help keep nails clear long-term.

Why do I need a nail test before treatment?

Many conditions can mimic toenail fungus, including trauma, melanoma, and psoriasis. 👉 Confirming the diagnosis with pathology testing ensures that you receive the correct treatment and avoid wasting time on ineffective therapies.

Do I need to take oral medication?

Not always. Many patients choose to avoid oral antifungal medications due to potential side effects. We offer multiple treatment options and will recommend oral therapy only when appropriate and medically safe.

Is toenail fungus dangerous?

For many patients, it is primarily a cosmetic and comfort issue. However, in patients with diabetes or poor circulation, fungal nails can increase the risk of skin breakdown and secondary infection.

Does laser toenail fungus treatment actually work?

Laser therapy can significantly reduce fungal organisms within the nail. However, the best results occur when it is used as part of a structured treatment program, combining debridement and antifungal therapy. 👉 This is why we use our Clear Nail Program™ rather than one-time treatments.

Our Approach to Treatment

At Heel & Toe Podiatry in Perrysburg, we do not believe in guessing—or treating every nail the same.

Many conditions can mimic toenail fungus, including trauma, psoriasis, melanoma and nail dystrophy.

Treating these incorrectly leads to frustration, wasted time, and poor results.

👉 That’s why the first and most important step is confirming the diagnosis.

Step 1: Confirm the Diagnosis

We begin by obtaining a nail clipping and sending it for pathology testing.

This allows us to:

Confirm the presence of fungal organisms
Identify the type of infection when present
Rule out other conditions that may look similar
Many patients we see have been treating the wrong condition for months—or even years.

👉 Accurate diagnosis = targeted treatment and better outcomes
